The LF demonstration station at Windsor made its final QSO yesterday (Sunday)
at 14.30 UTC.
The following stations were worked on 136k.

We were also able to operate on the UK band of 73kHz. This LF frequency
with its wavelength of 4.2km is considerably more difficult than 136. As
operation in the UK is by a notice of variation, we only able to use, with
the permission of the RIS, the call G0MRF.

Thanks to Peter and to the members of the Crawley radio club for their hard
work in setting up the stations for 73k.
Attempts to work / hear Roger G2AJV in Kent unfortunately failed due to the
increased QRM on the band.
Overall conditions appeared to be better towards the end of the weekend as
noise levels reduced on the bands and as the local computers, SMPSU's and
thyristor dimmers began to be turned off. Stations worked on QRS were viewed
as a multitude of 50Hz products meandered across the screen. My apologies to
Marco and those stations we missed.
Overall a very satisfying weekend.
